Product Description We design web and mobile slot games that combine top-tier visuals, polished interfaces, and smooth performance. Our products are distributed through leading iGaming operators and are known for their high artistic quality, engaging game flow, and technical stability.

Team Structure You’ll collaborate directly with: Game Designers & Producers (during pre-production and layout definition) 2D Artists (main art creation) Front-End Developers & Animators (Pixi.js, Spine, Neutrino) Technical Artists & QA Engineers Your main responsibility will be to finalize and optimize art for integration into the game client while maintaining the original artistic intent. Key Responsibilities Adapt and refine artwork provided by main artists — adjusting scale, structure, and composition according to game requirements. Perform art cleanup, minor edits, or additional drawing when necessary to maintain visual consistency. Export resources and deliver them in the required project structure (optimized and organized for dev/animation pipelines). Prepare visual previews and UI templates together with Game Designers to define how art will be assembled in-game. Work with bitmap fonts and text preparation via Snowb.org — find and prepare fonts matching visual style and localization needs.
